5.3 Inventory enquiry/VMI via WEB-VV
A supplier would like to keep track of the tank stock levels of his
customers and replenish them on his own whenever necessary. Via a
display that is updated several times daily, he has access to the level
data of the previous days or weeks. The supplier can thus assess the
requirements/consumption of his customers and plan his deliveries
accordingly. This allows him to do anticipatory purchasing and also
better utilize the capacity of his truck fleet. In addition, a message
should be sent if the level in any tank falls below a certain predefined
minimum value. Using this method, the supplier can always guaran-
tee his customers a sufficient supply of raw materials for production
without their having to bother with purchasing and ordering. And he
has the added benefit of long-term customer retention and continu-
ous orders.
